ActionJack Plays a Stud Pot to the River
Paul Jackson got into a threeway pot with Sherkhan Farnood and Simeon Tsonev, catching my attention by raising on fifth street showing
. Both players called him.On Sixth, their hands:
Jackson:
Farnood:
Tsonev:
All three players checked. After the arrival and subsequent checking of the river cards, it was Farnood who showed first - his hidden [
] winning him the low, while Jackson revealed the [
] for three-of-a-kind. Tsonev was the only one who missed out on some of this pot, and is now looking dangerously low on chips.
Goodwin Ducks In For A Pot
With boards reading
and 
, I thought Marc Goodwin and Jeff Duvall were actually on a time-delay and still stuck in the Razz stage of this event, especially when Goodwin bet his board on fifth street after Duvall had checked. Duvall called and both checked sixth street before Goodwin fired again on seventh after Duvall had once more checked. The latter looked like he was going to call before passing, Goodwin showed
for a solitary pair of twos which took the pot.
Krause Doubles
Andreas Krause put the last of his chips in with a
board, putting Yuval Bronshtein to the test with a 
board. Eventually the mohawked youngster made the call, showing 
for queens up. But Krause flipped 
for a better queens up, as well as flush draw that was unimportant. Bronshtein needed one of the two case fours in the deck to knock the German out, but could only come up with the , while Krause picked up the incidental and boosted his stack up to 16,000.
Quad Aces Any Good?
David Williams has just doubled through Woody Deck to give himself a little bit of extra breathing room as we approach the final minutes of Level 8.
Pre-flop, Deck opened the pot with a raise to 1,600 from early position. Williams then kicked it up another notch, making it 2,400 to go; Deck flat called.
A stunning
flop led to a check-bet-call sequence, with Williams doing the betting.The
fell on the turn and once again, Deck passed the option to Williams, who fired again, this time for 1,600. Deck then opted to check-raise, putting Williams all in for his last 900 and he quickly called, rolling over the 
for quads.Deck mucked his hand immediately and the dealer erroneously swept his cards into the muck. By rule, Deck's hand should've been turned over, as it was an all in and call situation. The players protested, but the cards remained in the muck.
Williams was happy, nonetheless, as he stacked up right around 15,000 in chips after the hand.

Back To The War
Woody Pecked by Williamson and Bjorin
The flop showed
with about 5,000 already in the pot when Daniel Negreanu led out with an 800 bet from the small blind. Robert Williamson III then raised it up to 1,600 from the big. Next action belonged to Deck, who tossed his remaining 2,600 into the pot, though the official raise was to 2,400. Chris Bjorin made the call from the button and Negreanu folded. The action then returned to Williamson who put in another raise, perhaps to officially put Deck all in. Deck called off his last 200 and Bjorin put in the extra 800, setting up a heads-up sidepot between Bjorin and Williamson heading into the flop. Phew.... Still with me? The
came on the turn and Williamson fired one last bet, putting Bjorn all in. Chris of course made the call, and the following cards were shown down:Williamson:
Bjorin:
Deck:
The river brought the
leaving Woody Deck the odd man out as Williamson and Bjorin chopped the high with two pair (aces and sixes), and Bjorin took down the low with A-3-5-6-8.After the hand, Bjorin stacked up about 17,000 in chips and Williamson, 34,500.
